Johnny Fiasco’s ‘Conduction’ will be released for the first time digitally on Klassik Fiasco as an exclusive on Beatport.

Johnny Fiasco has recently been engaging new audiences with ‘The Klassik Fiasco’ re-releases almost ten years later; remastered, revamped and released digitally for the first time ever.

Without a doubt, ‘Conduction’ can be found in record crates for DJs worldwide.

Hailed as one of the biggest pre-minimal slices of techno/house, ‘Conduction’ has now been brought back and remixed by the hottest producers hand-picked by Fiasco himself.

Remixers include Sneak, Santiago & Bushido, Jake Childs, Garci Noise, Tres Manos, Mazi and Willpower.

Aside from his tour de force, the masterful and accomplished Fiasco continually reinvents himself through his timeless house music creations.

Chicago-born Juan Lopez aka Johnny Fiasco grew up in the predominately Hispanic Pilsen neighborhood where he was influenced by music at an early age.

Soon after his high school years, he traded playing guitar in rock and funk bands for home studio technology that allowed him the freedom to produce his own music without the confines and frustrations that playing in a band presented.

Around this time Johnny began his career as a DJ at some underground house parties in Chicago, and in ‘88 he landed a residency at Smart Bar.

Three years later he began to record for Moonshine, Radi-kal Fear, and in 1995 began recording for the world renowned Chicago based label Cajual Records where he would be their first release ‘Conduction’ EP.

Today, Fiasco is one of Om Records top producers and remixers.

Fiasco’s ‘Things That Go Bump in the Night’ is currently one of Om Records best selling singles to date.

Additionally, Johnny’s remixes of Soulstice ‘Lovely’ to Kaskade’s ‘Meditation to the Groove’ and now Bassnectar’s ‘Yo’ remix have become an integral part of the Om Records unique sound.

Other remixes have included work with Kaskade, Greenskeepers, Jive Records, Head Kandi, Quiet City and Defected Records to name a few.

Remarkably, Fiasco’s vast remix catalogue includes pop icons such as Gloria Estefan, KD Lang, Michelle Indegeochelo, and Donna Blakely. In 2003, one of his remixes was a #1 Billboard(R) chart-topping dance floor rework of Justin Timberlake’s smash single ‘Cry Me A River’.
